Kate Gosselin might just be the hardest-working woman in show biz: the single mother-of-eight made her return to the set of Dancing With the Stars Monday night as a special correspondent for an entertainment TV show.

Gosselin, who hung in for five weeks on this season’s competition, certainly left her fingerprints on the show, as her presence meant high ratings, a dash of controversy and tons of publicity as she tried to master the art of ballroom dancing with her pro partner Tony Dovolani.

“Whatever is worth my time, I give my all,” she told the show’s co-host, Brooke Burke, following her elimination April 20. “And maybe sometimes it didn’t come across … I was scared to death, most of the time, to be out there.”

Since packing up her dancing shoes, the reality TV mom has been staying busy with a pair of upcoming TV projects: her Kate Plus 8 specials will premiere on TLC June 6 at 9/8c, while another TV show called Twist Of Kate — which will show her reading fan letters and interacting with women who have been inspired by her — is currently set for a dozen episodes also slated to air this summer.
